After the 2 stops at Friends of Werribee I had to ride more assertively, so this time every time Occy started to back off or get distracted by his surroundings he got encouragement. No stops this time. :-)
We jumped clear and under time on a course that claimed about a third of the field at this level with eliminations.
This moved us up from 5th after dressage to 2nd after cross country. Occy did put in an unfortunate stop in the showjumping that dropped us to third but we were still in the top placings for what is renowned as a tough event. We got a hay-bag from Hurstbridge Saddlery and a Saddle blanket from Unicorn Equestrian Center for our troubles.
I think the contents of the hay-bag will be most important to Occy.
